The American Civil War

The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia
A Beautiful Mind
Conspiracy Theory
Primal Fear
The End
Ramblin Rose

Old time rock-n-roll and country

Books from the field of depth psychology and the American Civil War.






Education of all kinds and a burning desire to avail myself to those who have a burning desire to get clean and sober and stay that way.

Being around anyone under the influence of alcohol or any other mind altering chemical. Cruelty to animals also turns me off.

I went to a party when I was eleven and didn't get back until I was 45. More than 30 years of drug and alcohol addiction ended with a stretch in prison. That was my first life. My second life started when I was released from prison and went back to school. I didn't stop until I earned a Ph.D. in depth psychology. For more about me, please access my website Scumbag Sewer Rats and read my bio.

Heaveno John,
[ If someone could take the word "hell" and add an "o" for a greeting, I could do the same with heaven!!] Blessings for the  add and blessings for your transparent sharing!  It takes fervent heat to refine the soul and spirit!   Below a favorite excerpt from Daniel C. Matt's "Essential Kabbalah":

"There is one who sings the song of his[her] soul,discovering in his[her] soul everything--utter spiritual fulfillment.There is one who sings the song of his people. Emerging from the private circle of his soul--not expansive enough, not yet tranquil--he[she] strives for fierce heights, clinging to the entire community of Israel [Ireland, India, Arabia, United States, et cetera] in tender love. Together with her, he[she] sings her song, feels her anguish, delights in her hopes. He[She] conceives profound insights into her past and her future, deftly probing the inwardness of her spirit with the wisdom of love.Then there is one whose soul expands until it extends beyond the border of Israel[Germany, Japan, China, Scotland, et cetera] singing the song of humanity. In the glory of the entire human race, in the glory of the human form, his[her] spirit spreads, aspiring to the goal of human kind, envisioning its consummation. From this spring of life, he[she] draws all his[her] deepest reflections, his[her] searching, striving,and vision. Then there is one who expands even further until he[she] unites with all of existence, with all creatures, with all worlds, singing a song with them all.There is one who ascends with all these songs in unison-the song of the soul, the song of the nation, the song of humanity, the song of the cosmos-- resounding together , blending in harmony, circulating the sap of life, the sound of holy joy."

Blessings of joy, laughter, life, light, love, peace, revelation, truth, understanding and wisdom, Zarayah [aka "Spiritspark]

Hey John,


Welcome to Jason's Network! I've just become interested in psychology and human behavior. Just began reading Power vs. Force by David Hawkins. The human mind and behavior is quite fascinating~


Peace~Kristy

Hey John!


Is Dianne (sp?) not one of the hottest chicks ever? She's one of my favorites.


Good to see you over here. I am revamping a lot of what I do. I was led to some tools that would help you immensely. They are video production, ditribution site loading, and analytics combined.


If you have a digital camera, about the only cost would be batteries for it. Rest is free. Let me know if that interests you.


Your buddy Ken
